About Us

Eric Melendez, editor and lead blogger, has been a lifelong 49ers fan all while growing up behind enemy lines in Rams territory (before the 49ers made them move east) of Orange County, California. Influenced by cousins to become a fan at an early age, his dad, a lifelong Rams fan, took him to see the 49ers play each year at Anaheim Stadium against the L.A. Rams in the glory years of the 1990′s. Now living in the home turf of San Francisco attendance to 49ers games is up, minus the glory teams of the 1990′s. Before moving to San Francisco, Eric lived in San Diego for four years where he obtained his BA in English at San Diego State University. Eric is also an aspiring fiction novelist.
